Disney's Lakeshore Lodge Reveals Branch & Brush Lounge and New Lobby Concept Art

Disney has shared new details for Disney's Lakeshore Lodge ahead of reservations opening next week, including a first look at Branch & Brush — a new lounge just off the lobby — and updated concept art showing the grand lobby in full.

The Lobby

The new lobby rendering shows the space as guests will first experience it. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame unobstructed views of Bay Lake straight ahead, with The Wetlands pool area visible to the left. Hundreds of colorful glass leaves hang suspended from above as part of the blown glass Colors of the Wind sculpture, filling the soaring space with movement.

At the center of the lobby floor sits a custom bronze centerpiece designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, with the fiberoptic river flowing around it. Look closely and you'll find familiar characters from decades of Disney animated films etched into its design.

Branch & Brush

Just beyond the lobby, Branch & Brush is a new lounge serving handcrafted cocktails with Bay Lake views. The rendering shows a warm, intimate space built around a striking color-changing chandelier designed to reflect all four seasons — the central visual element of the room. Original Disney artwork lines the walls, and natural textures and rich colors run throughout.

It joins Moonglade, Bay Lake Provisions, Paint Out Point Bar & Grill, and Dandelion Terrace as the fifth confirmed food and beverage location at Disney's Lakeshore Lodge.
